On Thursday, October 25th, the Green Team is having a car free day. We are encouraging all students to find an alternative way to school that day (walk, bike, scooter). We have also set up 6 drop zones around the community.
Drop Zones: 1. If you choose to drop the student at one of the 6 drop zones (see below for the map), please note the time as the group will be leaving ON TIME. 2. There will be teachers at each drop zone waiting to walk with the students. They will walk with them to school and back to the same drop zone after school. 3. Students will be responsible for finding the same teacher after school. Teachers will meet students outside at the front doors. Teachers will not be taking attendance and will be leaving to the same drop zone at 3:10. Drop Zone 1: Starbucks parking lot (130 Country Hills Rd NE) Distance to school: 1.2 km Leaving at 7:45 (about a 20 minute walk) Drop Zone 2: Coventry Hills Drive NE and Covehaven Link (the traffic circle west of School) Distance to School: 550m Leaving at 7:50 (about a 10 minute walk) Drop Zone 3: Covemeadow Road and Covemeadow Road NE (near the small park North of school) Distance to school: 500m Leaving at 7:50 (less than 10 minutes) Drop Zone 4: Covepark Drive NE and Coventry Hills Way Distance to School: 850m Leaving at 7:45 (15 – 20 minute walk) Drop Zone 5: Coventry Drive Ne and Coventry Hills Way Distance to School: 1.5 km Leaving at 7:40 (30 minute walk) Drop Zone 6: Coventry Way NE and Coventry View NE (first road east of Coventry Hills Blvd) Distance to School: 1.0 km Leaving at 7:45 (15 minute walk) Why are we doing this? We are hoping to encourage more students to green commute to increase safety for pedestrians and drivers as well as to save energy! Eric Walters will be coming to speak to our school on Monday, November 12th. Every student will get to see him and most classes are currently reading one of his books in class (grade 4 classes are reading his novel entitled Run). Students may bring one of his books to sign.
